Shock and Awesome Podcast 130 – “Big Daddy Cain”

 

In “Big Daddy Cain” TJ and The Tux get all up in Big Daddy Herman Cain (Pause no homo) by making the bold prediction that Herman Cain will be back to baking slices by the time Fox News wins the War on Christmas.  This week we are also predicting that soon Jon “Happy Family” Huntsman will have his sunny day in the GOP polls. The former Utah Governor’s campaign manager Tim Miller (@timodc) spoke with the Derelict Duo about the latter especially how the Huntsman campaign is viewing the race as 50 local state battles instead of 1 big national thing.

 

 

Vladimir Putin is on his way back to the Russian Presidential office, and to celebrate his three-peat we at Shock and Awesome pondered A) what Pat Riley’s vig will be, and B) what the best political sequels of the last 30 years have been.  As usual, with hosts that are “on the spectrum” the conversation quickly deteriorates into a discussion of movie sequels, specifically what modern day sequels of classic moves would look like.  Lets just say that we never thought we would get into a heated discussion about McCauley Culkin and Home Alone on Shock and Awesome.

 

Foreign correspondent Aya Batrawy (@ayaelb) and Wall Street Journal reporter Tamer El-Ghobashy (@tamerELG) both phoned in from the banks of the nile to get us up to speed with the haps in Egypt.  It turns out this revolution thing isn’t as easy as just throwing a tyrant out.  There is a lot of rebuilding that needs to take place as well.
